While you’re waiting for September 14, 2018 to roll around, here are some other awesome movies like The Predator.

1. Pitch Black

Pitch Black is an action, horror, sci-fi movie that is the prequel to the 2004 The Chronicles of Riddickand the 2013 Riddick. When it first came out, it was celebrated by sci-fi fans for its originality.

Survivors of a commercial transport ship, that crashed on a desert planet full of alien creatures, try to make it off the planet safely.

The movie earned 7.1/10 rating on IMDB making it the best-rated of the franchise.

2. 28 Days Later

Not to be confused with the Sandra Bullock drama, 28 Days, which is most definitely NOT about zombies! 28 Days Later is a post-apocalyptic, horror, sci-fi movie that is the prequel to the 2007 28 Weeks Later.

One month after a contagious virus wipes out most of the United Kingdom, the 4 remaining survivors- Jim, Selena, Frank and Hannah- try to find sanctuary.

3. – I Am Legend

I Am Legend is a post-apocalyptic, horror, sci-fi movie that is based on the 1954 book, of the same name, by Richard Matheson.

Three years after a virus outbreak has wiped out 90% of humanity and turned 9% into vampire mutants, the sole survivor- Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville- tries to find a cure for the virus.

I Am Legend stars Will Smith and Alice Braga.

This is probably my favorite of all the movies like The Predator on our list. While the book is better, the movie is also pretty fantastic. Disturbing, but fantastic.

4. The Mist

The Mist is a horror, sci-fi, thriller movie that is based on the 1980 book, of the same name, by Stephen King. This movie made me angry beyond words, although I can’t tell you why because it ruins the ending.

A group of residents, trapped in a grocery store after bloodthirsty creatures descend on their small town, fight for survival.

It’s interesting to note that Cloverfield earned a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s first sequel (10 Cloverfield Lane) a whopping 90%, and it’s second sequel (Paradox) an incredibly low 17%. What happened there???

6. Pandorum

Pandorum is an action, horror, mystery, sci-fi movie that really freaked me out, even if it wasn’t that highly rated.

Lieutenant Payton and Corporal Bower, a pair of flight crew members from an interstellar ark, wake up from hypersleep with partial amnesia.

Pandorum stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster.

While it only scored a 28% among Rotten Tomato critics, it has an Audience Score of 48%.

This one is currently available on Netflix.

7. Dark Skies

Dark Skies is a horror, sci-fi, thriller movie, and it happens to be one of my favorite movies like The Predator. Keri Russell is a long way from Felicity in this performance!

After strange occurrences disrupt the lives of the Barrett family- Daniel, Lacy, Jesse and Sammy- seek out the help of a paranormal expert- Edwin Pollard- and discover a deadly force is causing the occurrences.
